Its getting a bit silly to me.

It's not silly. It's ridiculous.

From what I've observed, liberals, particularly on forums like this, tend to think of themselves as being more "enlightened" than conservatives.

But frankly, I think some of us here are starting to overdo it with this "are- you-liberal/conservative/moderate" stuff.

I confessed my sin and doing my best to forsake the attitude, trying to fulfill Romans 14 to enjoy my liberty in private, not offend my brother and walk in love. I would to God others can grant me the same in return.

If I am doing things that a Con looks at as sin, then they cannot in good conscience open their arms and have true fellowship with me. They can be cordial, and polite, and even friendly. But they will not be able to accept me for a Christian, as I am a sinning in their eye's.

This mindset is extremely problematic - and it need not be.

The tendency for UC or Conservatives to label each and every disagreement/issue as "SIN" is often nothing more than a misplaced zeal for Christian living.

Often, however, they are inept to defend their perspective and why it differs from the UC down the road a few miles.

Labeling everything as SIN simply does not make it so, nor does it raise the status of the issue in question. It does expose their own weakness and their desire to compensate by becoming unquestionable.

There should absolutely be no reason why someone cannot personally be much more conservative than another brother in Christ, without dusting off his feet and crying, "anathema!".

Me? I'm sick of it.

I just want to hang with my brothers and sisters, talk about how good God is, and have fun.

You can do that here.

Lot's of hand holding, singing kumbaya. Then everyone can light a candle when they get saved.
